The Japanese cockroach species of the genus Panesthia are revised. Since Matsumura's brief record (1898)"Panesthia angustipennis Illiger" has been listed in Japanese literature without any precise taxonomic treatment. On the other hand, "Cryptogercus (sic) spadicus Shiraki (1906), " which is nothing but an immature larva of the same species, also remained without further consideration until Roth's revision (1979) of this genus. In the present revision the Japanese and Taiwanese representatives of the "Panesthia angustipennis-Group" are investigated. The Panesthia species of the Yayeyama Islands which is characterized with reddish marked larval insects is now separated as P. angustipennis yayeyamensis ssp. nov., the similar larval insects are being also found in Taiwan.
